[Experience in verifying hepatitis E in Ukraine]
Abstract:
An outbreak of viral hepatitis B at a sugar refinery in the Ukraine was verified by the detection of HBs antigens and IgM antibodies to hepatitis A virus in the radioimmunoassay. Cases of hepatitis E among workers, employed mainly in heat-treatment departments, appeared due to mass contamination of water mains with sewage water from the residential zone in the presence of a few cases of the disease.
